Healthy Crepes with Fruit Filling: No-Guilt Dessert!

Last night I tried enhancing my breakfast banana pancake recipe to create a sweet dessert treat … and succeeded! With a couple extra ingredients, you can make a healthful, low-cal dessert you can indulge in without any guilt: healthy crepes! I actually couldn’t finish the full plate, so this is something you could certainly share with someone special. Alexander, who really hates bananas, now wants to try these because they look so good in the photos. (He was tucked in bed asleep last night when I made these little beauties.) We’ll see if he likes them or not — they are very sweet, but definitely taste like banana!

These healthy crepes would be great as a dessert, but you could also have them at breakfast thanks to the eggs and fruit. These would also make a great “finger food” dessert at a party!

Cooking and Preparing the Healthy Crepes

My ingredients for the mini crepes — I wish I’d had strawberries, too! I must remember to go to the grocery store tomorrow.

This is what the batter looks like when pulsed in the blender.

Crepes cooking on the skillet. Watch for these little air holes to form in the center — they tell you the crepe is ready to turn!

Isn’t it adorable?

My crepe pile-up with blueberry-filled, banana-filled, and whip cream-filled crepes. I thought at first I might eat them all, but it’s a good thing I did not — they were more filling than I thought and I couldn’t finish my fourth one!

If you come up with ideas for fillings or other ways to make these crepes yummy, let me know!

Note for Weight Watchers: The fat free whipped cream I use is only 5 calories for two tablespoons, and I estimate I might have used 8 altogether — that’s about 1 point, so be sure to count it (or part of it, if you share it) if you’re on the Simply Filling plan.

2016 Update: These healthy crepes continue to be a big hit in our house! They are easy to whip up and are great for breakfast thanks to the eggs and fruit.
